ChartExchange
chartexchange.com
Per-ticker dark pool and exchange volume, short volume, borrow fees, failures to deliver and Reddit mentions, free to browse with low-cost paid add-ons.
What it is
ChartExchange collects data that retail traders usually have to piece together from several sites: off-exchange (dark pool) volume and prints, daily short volume, short interest, cost to borrow, failures to deliver and Reddit mention and sentiment trends. Each ticker gets its own pages, and there are charts, a screener, a multi-chart terminal, options flow and a crypto order-book tool called Level2View. It covers US stocks and options, crypto and forex.
Browsing is free, with ads and shorter history. Rather than one premium plan, paid features are sold as separate add-ons. Investor is the main one: real-time stock data, complete history on the short volume, borrow, FTD and social pages, all dark pool levels and prints, daily short interest, screener exports and up to 200 real-time alerts. Supporter only removes ads. Option Flow adds market-wide flow with filters and alerts on top of Investor, and the API comes in three rate-limit tiers that each include Investor.
Paid items can be billed monthly, quarterly (8% off) or annually (17% off), and the pricing page offers a 14-day trial on most of them. Commercial use of the API needs a separate licence.
